A Hyperliquid whale closed positions and pocketed $1.28 million, then tried to buy the dip twice but got trapped.

A certain on-chain data platform detected that an ETH long address on Hyperliquid closed nearly four days of long positions 17 hours ago, profiting $1.285 million. Although this was a pullback from the peak unrealized profit of $5.3 million, the final realized gain was still $1.055 million, demonstrating the whale's volatile trading strategy.

[Bitpush] According to a blockchain data platform, the second largest ETH long position address on Hyperliquid executed a textbook operation 17 hours ago—closed out a long position held for nearly four days, securing $1.285 million in profit. However, this gain has pulled back significantly compared to the peak unrealized profit of $5.3 million.

Interestingly, after taking profits, this whale seemed unable to resist jumping back into ETH longs twice, but both times ended in losses, giving back nearly $230,000. After these three trades, the final profit stands at $1.055 million—not quite the peak, but still a solid haul.

Greedy guys, why can't you learn such a simple principle as "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"?

Made 1.05 million and still feeling itchy to trade, that's why most people can't make money, haha.

Made a million and still greedy to buy the dip again? This is a typical problem for big players; as soon as their hands are idle, they have to take action.

Haha, the way this whale can't resist is really something. After making a profit, they still personally gave back 230,000. This is the price of greed.

Itchy hands really are a common problem among traders. Clearly already made a huge profit, but still had to go for another round, and as a result, 230,000 was just gone like that.

After making a profit, I still want to go all in again. I just can't get rid of this itchy-hand problem. Greed leads to losses—classic move.

Made 1.05 million but had to give back 230,000—this is a classic case of greed kicking in, haha. Clearly already made it, but still wanted to go for more, and ended up getting stuck in the end.

Making a profit but still wanting to keep playing—that’s the gambler’s mentality, haha. Greed knows no bounds.

Made a profit, but this greed is really something... 5.3 million in unrealized gains got slashed in half, and still went back for two more hits. Human nature, huh.

A typical greedy criminal, who earns 1.28 million yuan and has to do it again, only to give up 230,000 yuan, which is why most people can't make money
